Abstract

|
|
|
A 4-year-old Thoroughbred stallion was referred to J&C Equine Hospital with a quarter crack of the right front foot. On visual inspection, there was a medial quarter crack with laminar necrosis. The first step to treat this problem was to remove the necrotized tissue around the crack using Dremel tools, disinfecting crack, administering antibiotics through regional limb perfusion and systemically administering antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs consistently. After one month’s anti-inflammatory management, the quarter crack was treated successfully using two series of wiring with one week’s term and polymethylmethacrylate composites (Equilox ). After treatment, this racehorse successfully resumed training and racing in Korea Racing Authority Seoul Race Course, and won three times, finishing second and third place once, out of thirteen starts.
